Özet

© 2020Augmented Reality (AR) is a live view that blends real world images with virtual information such as 3D models or sounds. AR is used to virtually reconstruct the ancient buildings of cultural heritage sites. Such sites can be presented to tourist groups in the form they were built in the past. AR can be implemented using mobile phones, tablets or smart glasses. Here, we present a new dimension to AR for cultural heritage using drones. We name it “Distant Augmented Reality”. The goal of this study is to augment video imagery acquired using drones with 3D models of the Roman Baths which is an important cultural heritage site in Turkey. For this purpose, two different tracking techniques were implemented: GPS based drone tracking and monocular camera based scene tracking. With these two techniques drone position and orientation was detected and tracked for augmenting the 3D model of the baths.
